listen with congregations as they seek God's voice in their pastoral searches

validate pastors who are called to specialized ministries

serve as the fellowship of accountability for healthy and balanced relationships between parishes and pastors

challenge our clergy to excellence in their ministries

help clergy serve as prophetic and pastoral spiritual leaders by equipping Elders, Deacons and congregational Nominating Committees to serve as competent leaders
